苏州园林中的茶事楹联

Couplets on tea affairs in Suzhou gardens

苏州园林主清主隐,茶性尚清尚雅,因此苏州的园林楹联中时现茶影。苏州园林的主人以及为园林题联的人都是性情之人,他们品茗谈风,借酒留题。苏州园林楹联的文化精神倾向于青绿内敛的茶气,但从来不拒绝酒的热烈,世界是二元的,苏州园林茶事楹联从文化的基底上切合了中国人阴阳平衡的特别思想。雪亭、凤馆是香雪煮茗的小园,也可以是梦里看剑的柳营,酒带来的总是轻轻哀叹,漠漠愁云,茶带给人的是数点梅花攒雪,一杯绿意迎人。苏州园林意趣中细雨蒙蒙,轻烟微起,是春景的向往,风中梅落,虽不增春色,但取梅花“零落成泥碾作尘,只有香如故”之意,仍可见吴中文人高洁的品格。酒托英雄之气,茶却始终保持着一种清新淡然的味道,总是与岩泉林壑相生,与琴棋书画为伍,因此,说到底,苏州园林终究还是最宜梅雪烹茶颐性养寿的地方。
